Nexus: A Little Knowledge

[save_us_alice]

Alice is worried. Just a few minutes ago, Victor sent her a message via PINpoint asking her to meet him in the Nexus to discuss something "of grave importance." She doesn't know what he wants to talk about, though it's obviously quite serious. Nervous, she makes her way over to the meeting spot he assigned. What on earth could he have to say?

Victor's waiting for her as she arrives. He too is nervous, though not as much as he could be. His talk with April helped immensely in that regard. "Hello, Alice."

"Hello, Victor," Alice replies. "What did you want to talk to me about?" She doesn't want to waste any time.

Victor takes a deep breath and lets it out. "I met someone in the Nexus the other day -- someone who had met you while you were LOLed. She -- er -- accidentally t-told me about your -- m-memories of -- us. She d-didn't mean to," he rushes to add, not wanting Alice mad at April. "She was in a b-bad way. Her own m-mother had attacked her -- I was t-trying to help her when s-she -- er -- s-spilled the beans, as it were."

Oh shit. Alice never thought April would tell anybody else about that. Of course, if she were hurt and not thinking clearly. . . . "I'm sorry," she says, feeling a bit panicky. "I-I didn't know how to tell you, and it was so awkward seeing you at John's party, and I don't even know if it's a will-be or a may-be, if that makes any sense at all--"

Apparently Alice can ramble with the best of them.
